I had to take the same test Cliff, as mine is custom build, did it myself. Your GPU card is much better than mine, as I did not buy a 1080, because of the price. But I didn't do that bad, kinda surprised me.

Could it be it takes into account all my disks?
Maybe that on 7200 spinner I use for my system images, is bring the score down.
If not, it could also be I'm new at this and don't know what I'm doing, and just turn all active programs off, but not the background stuff, and just try the benchmark.

Are you suppose to do a reboot before hand to kill any running stuff, or does it make a difference.
some one should make some tutorials on benchmarking and over clocking.

Searching the forums for it in the different threads just brings up a lot of stuff for specific questions, but no real tutorial, like in the proper preparation for a benchmark, how to make adjustments to CPU, memory, and Graphics.

Doing it wrong, I know, could fry something, and I had to save up for a few years to buy this baby, so I'm not tweakin' a darn thing until I know what it's about.

I get the feeling it's like calibrating a HDTV or a monitor:
where the slightest change in contrast, you need to then check how it effected brightness, then adjust that, and go back to contrast, then check sharpness and gamma, make adjustments, then check contrast again... and so on, until you get as good as a compromise as you can accept. And this is how I picture Over Clocking.

Great machine comes great responsibility.
Haha... take it easy. You seem so overwhelmed.

Edit. @Cliff S is it possible that your M.2 SSD isn't sitting on Gen 4 x4 slot? Anything less than x4 will not give you the maximum M.2 SSD performance. Check also the bandwidth tradeoffs between SATA, M.2 and PCIe slots. If you have 2 slots sharing a bandwidth, one of them either gets slowed down or disabled. Check the mobo manual.

@badrobot,
This is how I have it set up:
1) M.2 PCIe has my PM951 SSD
2)Choice here as it has SATA1 & SATA2, or together SATAe ports, I have only 1 SSD in the SATA1 port here.3) SATA3 & SATA4(are unavailable when using M.2 PCIe interface module in M.2 slot, so are empty)
4) SATA5 & SATA6 have 1 SSD & 1 HDD @7200rpm

There will soon be a flood of these, I would imagine. This is an amateur effort, using an intensive game. It does pretty much agree with what I have already tested with windows 8.1 though. Take it or leave it. As the author says, It is early days.
